The shots above are the Blue Ridge Mountains as I see them from the backyard, if I walk about 50 feet from the back door so I can look past the trees I normally see. I think one of those ridges is the Peaks of Otter, but wouldn't swear to it.
The trees above are poplars we planted in 1987. They are now a good 50 feet tall and are beginning to die. They were had 20-year lifespan, I recall. In 1987 that seemed like *such* a long time.
Below are autumn shots.
It turned out pretty after all. Just a little later than years past. Your home looks a lot like mine.
ReplyDeleteLooks like your new lens (and you)take great shots. You are so fortunate to have such a view in your backyard! I really like the acorn shot--the bluish-gray of the acorn cap on the left and the brown of the ones on the right. Lovely detail.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of oak trees and I've not noticed a lot of acorns this year which leads me to believe we're going to have a mild winter. How about by you? Seen many?
ReplyDeleteNice shots. I know you'll have lots of fun with your new lens. Enjoy!
